It's been very warm of late (72F/22C) and the energy has changed.There is a lightness coming back in, but it is delicate and not full strength yet. I've noticed people are a little more relaxed lately too. It helps not having to run errands in the rain.
This mood is reflecting in my paintings at present. I have two 36" x 48" canvases on the go and they are very light in nature and in color.
The palette is pastel and White's and although there is still the element of calligraphy with the pastel mark makings from the 'Fog Series', they are smaller and fuller.
They almost make me feel like plants in Spring time, as they pop through the ground and you just catch a glimpse of their furled up selves.
These little markings may be small but packed with energy. They feel like they are ready to blossom and bloom.
Maybe I will title them so.
Below, are two small photo's of detail from the larger works.
I look forward to sharing the photographs of the final paintings with you soon. Meanwhile, enjoy the warmer weather and fecund energy.
